Description Parameshwara Bhat 2006-05-24 13:52:44 UTC
Description of problem:
OOo2.0.2(calc)
Cell RH bottom drag handle used to copy the contents of the cell automatically 
(if text) and fill series with increment of one if number in earlier versions of 
OOo ( 1.1.x).Now this nice behaviour is replaced by a dialog box which helps 
define series type.

A shortcut should always produce a direct action, whereas for more controlled 
actions you should have menu commands.

Like Bug 64375 I have filed, this behaviour is annoying.

These behaviours were ironed out correctly in 1.1.x series, but have resurfaced 
in 2.x.x. versions.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OOo2.0.2

How reproducible:
 Drag

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enter 1 in A1, 2 in A2.
2.Drag A2 cell handle (Right Hand Bottom) over a few cells down.
3.A Dialog Box comes up.
  
Actual results:
A Dialog Box comes up for defining series.

Expected results:
A series beginning with 1 and an increment of 1 should automatically be filled.

hmm, i do not understand. i do not get a dialogbox but just fill series or
content copies. Just like u stated in your first paragraph... so, is this
problem solved in 2.0.2? Of does it still persist?

I have cross-checked my statement.In Fedora C4,with latest updates,the bug- 
behaviour persists as also in FC5 with OOo2.0.2. I cannot say if it is only a 
Fedora issue

WFM also (OOo 2.0.2 OS X). Are you using binaries downloaded from
openoffice.org, or were they provided with Fedora? If not official
openoffice.org binaries, then please try to reproduce with official binaries, or
report it through Fedora's issue tracking system.

This is repeat of bug no.192948.After committing the bug,I got a message saying 
'product name is invalid'.I resubmitted. Later found both bugs entered into the 
database.
